Marketing Real Estate on Facebook

Marketing Real Estate on Facebook

"I think that maximizing your exposure on social networks like Facebook are
going to be increasingly important to small businesses - especially in
industries that are already so network-dependent like real estate.
Unfortunately, due to the fleeting nature of these sites, the trick is going
to
be to stay on top on where everyone is. The real danger is arriving
too
late and
finding your audience has already moved on....." From Future

PMI Insurers may owe thanks to Piggy Back Mortgages

"The PMI companies pressured Congress and did get a limited short-term income tax deduction for PMI premiums but borrowers continued to flock to piggy-backs.
Well, talk about dodging a bullet. There were probably hundreds of thousands of buyers who opted for a piggy-back arrangement rather than PMI in the last half dozen years. The Federal Reserve has reported that 22 percent of new loans written in 2005 and 2006 used the second mortgage approach. Think of all of the potential foreclosures for which the PMI companies are not going to be on the hook....." Private Mortgage Insurance

Credit Crunch Still Has a Way to go in Kentucky

Credit Crunch Still has a way to go in Kentucky
"
Like most investors, I'm delighted when markets rise — even when, for the life of me, I can't figure out why. Until last week, that's how I was feeling. Since the market bottomed on Aug. 16, in the midst of a credit meltdown and market turmoil, it had soared to new highs. It was as if Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke had pulled out a magic wand, waved it to produce a half-point rate cut, and poof! The credit crisis was gone.
Then came Friday's 366-point decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which ended the week down over 4%. ...." from SmartMoney

Foreclosure Bargains Kentucky Insurance

Kentucky Insurance

"You've heard a lot (probably too much!) about real estate market problems and especially the rapid rise in foreclosures. But as a real estate investor you're picking up big-time "bargain" signals on your antennae. visit Kentucky-Insurance.com

The headlines are ominous: some 243,000 foreclosures in August, up 36% from July and 115% from August 2006. There's blood in the streets.

So how do you get from "there must be bargains out there" to "how much will I save, and where are the best bargains?"

I like to guide any buying decision as much as possible with the facts. But while lots of foreclosures are out there, how good an opportunity they might be was hard to know. Until now....." Bargain Foreclosures Vacant Homes

Louisville bucks a national real-estate downturn

Louisville Kentucky Real Estate

"The median price of a home in the Louisville area has risen nearly 5 percent a year over the past two decades -- better than inflation, and about the same as the national rate.

And even this year -- in the midst of a national housing downturn -- the metro area is on track for a median price increase of at least 1 percent, according to the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors.

But as the national housing slump deepens, properties are sitting on the market longer, making sellers nervous and prompting some to slash asking prices and throw in such incentives as free wide-screen televisions or refrigerators to close deals......." Courier-Journal Louisville KY Real Estate
